About the congress
A travelling conference, forty years in motion.
Where materials science meets shared responsibility.
Since the first meeting in Saint-Denis in 1987, FRPM has brought together researchers, industrial scientists and students to advance the science of flame-retardant polymeric materials.
The Milan edition will explore solutions that combine performance, fire safety, sustainability and circularity—building the next chapter for an international scientific community.
Scientific scope
Research for safer materials and systems.
From fundamental chemistry to regulation, FRPM 2027 connects the disciplines shaping the future of fire-safe polymer science.
Flame-retardant chemistry
New mechanisms, synergies and multifunctional formulations.
Advanced materials
Textiles, composites, coatings and intumescent systems.
Energy & emerging industry
Fire safety for batteries, e-mobility, construction and 5G.
Sustainability & circularity
Bio-based systems, recyclability, durability and environmental impact.
Testing & characterisation
New methods to understand and evaluate fire behaviour.
Modelling & standards
Simulation, prediction, regulation and standardisation.
